Abstract: An optical illuminator assembly for an analytical instrument, such as a clinical hematology or a flow cytometer instrument, and method of aligning the components of the illuminator assembly and orienting the illuminator assembly. The illuminator assembly includes a plurality of optical components, such as a laser source, e.g., a laser diode, optionally a spatial filter, a beam shaping aperture, and a focusing lens. The optical components are mounted in or to a housing and are internally oriented with respect to the housing to produce a focussed laser beam output. The housing is in turn mounted on an alignment mechanism which can move the focussed beam in four degrees of freedom, thereby to direct the focussed beam to a particular location. Thus, a factory alignment and a low cost prealigned optical illuminator assembly is obtained, which can be easily oriented for use in an instrument. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An expandable annuloplasty ring which may either expand spontaneously, in situ, as the patient grows or be expanded by surgical intervention by balloon dilatation. The distensible annuloplasty ring of the invention may be usable in pediatric patients whose growth, subsequent to surgical implantation of the ring, will necessitate subsequent enlargement of the ring to accommodate growth of the annulus. The ring may include relatively expandable segments to enable the enlargement thereof. The ring segments may include engaging teeth which cooperate with notches or slots formed in the tubes to provide some resistance to ring distention, while preventing collapse of the ring in the opposite direction. The teeth may be of different sizes or shapes to regulate the amount of force needed to expand the ring at different stages of the patient's growth. Alternatively, the adjustable ring includes a solid core of non-elastic material which plastically retains its shape upon natural expansion of the annulus, or after surgical expansion. In one embodiment, segments are coupled together with a discontinuity around the ring periphery. Pivot regions are provided between adjacent segments that, along with the discontinuity, enable the ring to expand upon annulus growth. The discontinuity may be positioned along the anterior side of the ring or around the posterior side. A further version makes use of telescoped segments with no discontinuity. The segments are coupled together with tubular sheaths, and expand without decoupling. A fabric covering may be omitted.

Abstract: Methods of activating a signaling cascade comprising, introducing leptin and/or a cytokine to a receptor complex comprising gp 130, optionally in combination with a compound acting on adenylate cyclase or acting on one or more downstream targets of adenylate cyclase, thereby inducing genes in neuro-endocrine cells or cells of neuro-endocrine origin. Two distinct gene-sets are induced, immediate early response genes (STAT-3, SOCS-3, Metallothionein-II, the serine/threonine kinase Fnk and the rat homologue of MRF-1), and late induced target genes (Pancreatitis Associated Protein I, Squalene Epoxidase, Uridinediphosphate Glucuronyl Transferase and Annexin VIII). Strong co-stimulation with the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin was shown with respect to late induced target genes. Transcripts encoding Leptin Induced Protein I (LIP-I) and Leptin Induced Protein II (LIP-II) were identified; however, no forskolin co-stimulatory effect was observed. It is also demonstrated that leptin modulates in vivo expression of MT-II, Fnk and Pancreatitis Associated Protein I genes.

Abstract: In a printer that creates dots with a plurality of color inks K, C, M, and Y in both a forward pass and a backward pass of main scan, a delay circuit is provided corresponding to each nozzle array, in order to change an ink ejection timing. The technique of the present invention prints seven test patterns, so as to specify dot creation timings with regard to the K ink in the backward pass, the C ink in both the forward pass and the backward pass, the M ink in both the forward pass and the backward pass, and the Y ink in both the forward pass and the backward pass relative to the dot creation timing with regard to the K ink in the forward pass set as a standard. The delay circuit delays an output timing of a driving waveform to a print head according to the specified dot creation timing. This arrangement effectively prevents a misalignment of dot recording positions with regard to all the color inks in both the forward pass and the backward pass of the main scan, thereby attaining high-quality printing. The delay circuit may be provided corresponding to each ink color or each nozzle group, for example, having a common nozzle driving mechanism, other than each nozzle array. The technique of the present invention is also applicable to adjust the dot creation timing with regard to each nozzle group in a printer that creates dots only in either the forward pass or the backward pass of the main scan. <IMAGE>
